This gets worse for Sir Keir Starmer.

In a couple of years, second, third, fourth, and fifth will be swapping from poll to poll with all of them in the 13-18% range. This gives Green the three Manchester seats.

Your Party will focus on high profile/front bench seats.

That's what I think, anyway
➡️ Reform lead by 16%, their largest ever advantage in an opinion poll.

This would give them 407 seats on the custom nowcast model, a majority of 164.

This is weird. Apparently he's alive? A Greek club he briefly coached reported his death because his wife reported it to them. The clubs name? Doxa Pigadakion

This is genuinely massive, like earth-shakingly big in terms of pushing back the anti-trans exclusion drive.

The anti-trans movement have lost a case they didn't expect to lose and really couldn't afford to.

I can't imagine them not appealing (near infinite money) but now the precedent exists.

I love how the world's most advanced and heavily funded militaries are all far more absent minded and reckless with huge weapons stockpiles than I've ever been with my cell phone or wallet.

This part is *infuriating*. This cis woman heard an 80 year old trans woman say, 'This is the only place I've been respected as a woman IN MY LIFE.'

And did not immediately think, 'I will fight every inch like a dying badger to keep her in my organization.'

Absolutely pathetic.

Why are those organisations enforcing trans and non-binary exclusion pretending to be sad about it? They're free now, they can be honest. Tell us how you really feel, how terribly hard this has been for you, of your Utmost Regret and Sadness, we're just dying to hear about it, you poor things.

No one is being "forced" to exclude trans and non-binary people. They are CHOOSING to do this. There is ALWAYS a choice. And when the chips are down, this is what the "good" people do.

The lives of minorities are a sacrifice that the people who claim to love us are somehow always willing to make.

If you aren't prepared to lose that laughably small number of your organisation's members who are mouth-foaming bigots worshipping at the altar of JK Rowling - if you aren't prepared to lose everything in standing up to these monstrous bigots - then you're not the "ally" you lied about being.

This is often posted by the remaining members ofSir Keir Starmer's Bunker Cult as evidence of how much they're getting done.

It isn't—it's evidence that everything they've done is bleakly underwhelming, utter nonsense, creative accountancy, or actively destructive.
